    Thanks for handling the flowers Russman.

    I have the amps warming up already and at approximately 9:00 this evening I will play some music in Shane's memory. This may be a little hard so I picked up a few Miller High Life's to help me along. So long friend.

    I've been searching posts, trying to find some tunes on his recommended list, someone mentioned Fleetwood Mac, so it's lined up.

    I've got the Igloo cooler full of MHL and a pint of Jaeger, my Tennesse shot glass, and a bowl of pretzels laid out in the cave. Should be starting here in about an hour or so...

    Cheers,
    Russ

    I couldn't find any other favorite artists either.
    This is really weird.
    Friday evening, out of the blue, I picked up a Fleetwood Mac CD and played almost the whole thing. I like them a lot but truthfully, it has been close to a year since I've played anything by them. I just realized this because I was looking for the Tusk CD and there it was, in the CD player. ohhhhhhhh.... I guess that will be my tribute CD.

    Don't know why I have to work
    Dont know why I can't play
    Turn me on
    Turn me off
    But don't turn me away
    Save me a place
    I'll come running
    If you love me today
    Don't know why I have to go
    Don't know why I can't stay
    Guess I want to be alone
    And I guess I need to be away
    Save me a place
    I'll come running
    If you love me today

    Goddammit, why does this **** happen to the GOOD guys. I will see to it that he is NOT forgotten.

    I look at my SDA CRS's, if it wasn't for that good ole boy (and Hoosier) I wouldn't have them... There isn't a better definition of KINDNESS, there isn't a WARMER person, someone that would take you into their home, just after a post or two on a Goddamn internet forum, and treat you like family.

    My eyes are full of tears, and I don't give a **** what anyone thinks about that, this guy was one in a million. G'head and retire his jersey, no one will ever fill the present void.

    Man, I sure hope there is a beyond, because my boy is up there effin with God's 2ch rig right now. I hope his family and friends can make it through the time they need to heal from this tragic, sudden event. I weep, God effin dammit, I EFFIN WEEP for Nascarmann....

    Long live the King. Via con Dios my brotha....

    Har,

    Thanks for finding his picture......very fitting. The big guy with the little dog, standing tall and making the mountains look so small.

    I played all the Fleetwood Mac I have at maximum volume on the SDA's and raised a glass in his honor......I'm sure he heard it.

    That would have to be Yammies and SDA's.

    I love his last post! Full of praise and some gentle suggestions when appropriate. All done with a 'don't sweat it' attitude.

    He'll be missed more than he would've ever known!

    It will happen to all of us, just no telling when. Our life on this planet is but a flicker in time. All I could think about last night was Nascarmann and his sudden passing. Thanks for posting the pick. One of my all time favorite Bible verses...

    Numbers 6:24-26
    The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

    Pick me apart!
    Yamaha has and always will make the best electronic equipment!

    My SDA's will never be matched by this new small footprint stuff by Polk!

    Hell, My Monitor 10's are even better than this newer stuff!

    Miller Highlife is much better than Bud!

    Seagram's 7 is smoother that Crown Royal!

    Chevrolet is so supierior to Ford, Ford should just close there doors so everyone would own a good car or truck!

    Congress should ban Jazz music all together!

    Hockey is not a sport, it's just legalized street fighting!

    Mantis is just a big mouth know it all!

    nascarmann is and always will be the best looking person on this forum!

    Bill Fance Jr should be president!

    Just came across this. :(:(
    I don't post very often, but I am here on a daily basis.
    I am at work with tears welling up in my eyes, for someone I've never met or heard speak. That says a LOT about the man.
    A very pleasant and friendly person. - I have learned and laughed
    much with The King.
    You will be missed, but NEVER forgotten.

    CHEERS ! to Shane. jefff

    I'm new to the Polk Club but Nascarmann had a big influence on me. His praise of the SDA1-C's is what made me buy a set from
    ebay. He was right, I love my 1-C's! Last night I played
    Rumours in his honor and it sounded incredible.
    My prayers go out to him.

    I've been gone for a couple of days. This is very sad. My condolences to his loved ones.

    For those of you who would like to see it, here is the obituary from the local paper.

    Shane Mann

    KINGSPORT - Alfred Shane Mann, 43, of Willowbrook, went to be with the Lord Friday (Sept. 27, 2002) at Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center.

    He was a lifelong resident of Sullivan County (Kingsport) and a 1977 graduate of Sullivan Central High School, where he played football. He was an over-the-road truck driver.

    Shane was of the Baptist faith.

    He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Benjamin and Trula Baker; paternal grandparents, Walter and Mary Mann.

    Survivors include his lifelong partner, Kim Roberts, Kingsport; parents, Alfred E. and Peggy J. (Baker) Mann, Kingsport; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Terry Lynn Mann and wife Judy, Kingsport, Tony Lee Mann and wife Kathy, Blountville, Ronald Kelly Mann, Church Hill; several nieces and nephews, Carol Mann, Pennsylvania, Anthony Mann, Blountville, Allen Mann, Knoxville, Benjamin Mann, Crossville, Rebekah McSwain, Kentucky, Rachel Mann, Blountville.

    Calling hours are from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Carter-Trent Funeral Home Chapel, downtown Kingsport.

    Services will be conducted at 7 p.m. today in the funeral home chapel with the Rev. Joe W. Byrd officiating.

    Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at Tri-Cities Memory Gardens. Family and friends will meet at the funeral home at 10 a.m. to go in procession to the cemetery.

    Family and friends will serve as pallbearers.

    In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to American Heart Association, in memory of Shane Mann, P.O. Box 985, Kingsport, Tenn. 37662.

    Condolences may be sent to the family via e-mail at cartertrentfh@chartertn.net.

    Just checking into this thread myself - wow. I won't pretend I knew Shane well - only as Nascarmann through this forum.

    Nevertheless, what has profoundly impressed me is the genuine and sincere outpouring from you guys on this forum.

    I say this without malice or sarcasm - you all give me hope for the human race. There really IS a sense of belonging and community on this site - you have all proved friendships can grow and flourish in ANY environment - even a virtual one.

    Since I was late in checking here, today I will send a contribution to the American Heart Association in Shane's memory.

    Warmest Regards,

    I have also been away for a few days and I am in disbelief. I live right around the corner from him ( so to speak) and had hoped that I would get to meet him sometime, have a beer , and listen to some tunes on his newest polks. I guess that was not meant to be. My heart felt sympathy goes out to all. You guys are the greatest and I also feel that I am part of one big family here, I also plan to make a donation to the heart association as well in memory of the nascarman. May god give you peace and rest, we will miss you here.

    We're all probably thinking about different crap about this... it's hit me a lot harder than I expected (but then again how do you expect something like this ...). One thing that comes to mind is when I was graduating from high school, my father said something about enjoying the time, because as time progresses, we may know 500 people in school, 50 people in college, and 5 people when we're working stiffs. This was about 13 years ago, and it's making more sense.

    Look back, if I could make a generalization, we may have less and less good friends as the years go by. But now... how amazing is it that we can learn about people from all over the country thanks to something like the Polk forum. My pregnant wife has something similar, where she can talk to others that have approximately the same due date as her... other people from all over that have the same concerns, the same fears, the same excitement.

    None of us probably would have known diddly about Shane without a forum like this. Hopefully we're all a little better by broadening our experiences and getting to know other people with little slices of what they're about.

    Just a random thought...
